FTP Explorer

Note: You will need to find your AT&T Worldnet Service account information.

This popular FTP client can be set up to work very well with AT&T Worldnet Personal Web Pages. Simply follow the steps shown below.

1. Launch the program, and you will see this window. Fill it in using the following information.
   • Profile Name: Enter in a name you want to use for the site you are creating.
   • Host Address: upload.att.net or upload.worldnet.att.net/li>
   • Login: This is your e-mail ID, the part to the left of the @ in your e-mail address.
   • Password: Use your e-mail password.
   Leave everything else as shown below. Click the Add button, and then click the X in the top right-hand corner to close that window.
   
2. Click the View menu and choose Options. On the Connection tab, you will see the next screen. Complete it exactly as you see here with the exception of the Timeout setting. You may leave that at the default setting.
   
3. Click the Transfers tab and make it look like the screen below. If you wish to set Transfer Queued Items to Simultaneously, limit the maximum number of logins to 2. Click the OK button to close that screen.
   
4. Now you will see the toolbar that looks like this:
   
5. Click the 4th icon (page with a green star on it) from the left to connect. You will see the connection window, click the Connect button. After a short wait, you will see your files on the PWP server displayed in the window. You may now on click the Blue Up Arrow on the toolbar and you will see the next screen.
6. Now you see a window that will allow you to navigate to the files that you want to upload, and then select them. You can select multiple ones by holding down the CTRL key while you click on each one with the mouse. When you have all the files you want to upload highlighted, then click the Open button.
   
7. The files you have chosen will then be uploaded one at a time, automatically. When its done the transferring files pop up window will disappear and you will see transfer complete in the log window on the bottom of the screen. You will see your files in the view of your PWP directory. Click the fifth icon from the left on the toolbar (page with a red X on it) to disconnect and your done. You can close FTP Explorer and go view your Web pages using your browser.
8. There are some other options for using FTP Explorer, read the documentation that comes with it for more handy hints. The above procedures though will get you started and published with a minimum of effort, then you can experiment later.

If you've followed the instructions exactly and are having problems uploading, try the troubleshooting steps in our PWP FAQ.

To backup your Web site, click the blue down arrow in step 6 to transfer the files from the AT&T Worldnet personal Web server to your hard drive.
